Did you ever damage your surroundings with the Wiimote?

Nintendo seems to want us to be very careful when playing our Wii: they gave us a wrist strap and silicon jacket for the Wiimote and most games remind us to use them every time we play. The reason is to avoid damging our surroundings and people near us.

Recent polls revealed most regular Wii players don't use the strap nor the jacket.

My question is: did you ever damage anything while playing the Wii?

I didn't, but I recently got sligltly hurt when playing Wii Sports tennis, we were playing a crowded multiplayer in a pretty small room and I banged my hand on a shelf. lol@me

I can't say I have. I always use the strap. Even if I'm only using it as a sideways controller which requires no waggling movement.

One time before the days of the Wiimote jackets we were playing Warioware so the controller was being passed around alot so we didnt put on the wrist strap. During one of the games the Wiimote flew out of my hand and left a dent in the roof omy brothers room but didnt even leave a scratch on the wiimote1 :lol:

worst thing is though, this was before i bought my Wii and it was my mates Wii that i was borrowing :P

actually, thats to make sure the wiimote doesnt break...

and it IS pretty common to hit ur friend while playing a 4 players multiplayer match at, might say, wii tennis

Yea my brother was kinda playin wii bowling for like 3 hours and once he took off the strap he let go and it flew and hit the window and he did this twice more. When we first got the wii we wouldn't use the silicon thing and the ceiling in the room where the wii is isn't that high and when we would bowl we would raise it really hight and unfortunatly we hit the light fixture and broke it , and we've done it where we hit the celing so much that it cracked the sensor on the remote but it STILL WORKS GREAT!!!8)

My friend tyler ripped off the cord to the ceiling fan with the nunchuk and wiimote.

But that's whe we WERE NOT playing a game. XD

I accidently got too close to the wall with my wiimote in Wii Baseball and accidently scratched my hand.

well my friend gave my sister a bloody nose while pumping his fist in celebration after he won an online match of strikers charged that was in sudden death for almost 30 minutes and now the tip of my remote is slightly red

the damage you can do with a wii is insane, its like they're built to be weapons. i don't own a wii anymore but my friend recently put his remote through the screen while bowling, set him back about £500 for a new tv XD

they've done millions of £££ worth of damage to people and surroundings acording to this

well when i first got my wii which was on my birthday, my friends and i where playing golf

and i also told them not to overdo the motions , i said the wii noticed it when they just waggeld a litle.

then sudenly my friend took his hand up and smacked my lamp in my room, there where glass pices EVERYWHERE

and he also got a big "wiiscar" it was kinda funny and yet i had to pick up all the big glass pieces

and we also had to stop the bleeding :P

the wiimote also had 2 smal marks on the left side

Here's an equation for you to balance.

(Me + several shots + Wiimote) = (Me - laptop)

Yes, I know, all my fault.

seihaii

Have not damaged my surroundings but there has been some physical punsiments...

The day we got our wii my spouse and I were trying out the boxing and really getting into it, moving around etc. All of a sudden he grabbed his knee and hit the floor, turns out he twisted his knee. It swelled up and he limped around for a couple of weeks. It was kind of funny to hear him have to explain that he took his knee out playing wii boxing.

My payback for laughing was getting whacked in the back with the remote when my son and I were playing tennis.

Hmm, damage my surroundings? No.

But, my wiimote did fly out of my hand twice, but there was no damage. Theres a popular video going around YouTube though, showing an adult breaking his plasma TV with the wiimote :(

Nope. I've never used the wriststrap or jacket, and never damaged anything including another person :P

Most of my games use the nunchuck though, so it couldn't go that far anyways...
